Kodomo no Hi event in Houten
We are thrilled to invite you to an enchanting celebration of Kodomo no Hi, the Japanese Children’s Day, hosted by Japan Fans Utrecht. On Saturday, 13th of May, we will come together in the picturesque town of Houten, near Utrecht, to embrace the spirit of this cherished festival. Join us for an unforgettable day filled with origami, cultural exchange, and delectable Japanese sweets!
Cultural Exchange
At our Kodomo no Hi event in Houten, children from Japanese, Dutch, and Chinese backgrounds will gather under one roof to engage in the captivating art of origami. Guided by skilled instructors, they will learn to fold paper into beautiful creations, discovering the wonders of this timeless Japanese tradition. This unique cultural exchange promises to foster understanding, friendship, and the celebration of diversity.
Savor the Flavors
In addition to the joy of origami, we are preparing a delightful surprise for the young participants. Japanese Fans Utrecht will be crafting authentic Japanese sweets to offer as a treat to the children. These delectable confections will transport their taste buds to the vibrant streets of Japan, adding a touch of sweetness to their Kodomo no Hi experience.
